Hello all,
I have just graduated with a qualifying first class honors Law LLB degree from a reputable London university. The issue is I would like to practice in North America preferable Canada, specifically Toronto.

I have done extensive research and believe the best way to go about it, would be to submit my results, once the transcripts are produced, to the NCA. Then complete the challenge exams, article and then the bar exams

I am a 24 year old UK citizen, I was born in London my questions are this; would my results have any influence on Toronto law firms? More importantly I would like to emigrate there permanently (i prefer north American lifestyle bigger houses, nicer pay...generally etc).

I am aware that an LLM would be pointless to practice, however how do I go about getting a permit for the required three years to gain residency? Seeing as how law grads are not listed in their points based immigration system. Can i renew a one year work permit three times if i have a job then apply?

I desire to work in the criminal AND immigration fields would this increase or decrease my chances of finding employment? finally i will not be spending £12k do to the LPC thus only have voluntary experience at law firms and CAB.Therefore would articling be more difficult for a non Canadian with no legal experience? I was interested in the university of Toronto's bridge program but you have to be a national or resident to complete it.

If anyone has any experience or knowledge regarding my questions i would really appreciate your input.
